We have a number of DocBook documents which contain embedded images in PDF format. This turned out to be a stumbling block when I was evaluating FOP for processing these documents -- as I understand things, it does not currently support PDF as an image format. Thus, I'm entering this feature request, for support for PDF images -- at least when generating PDF output. (I can understand that it would be much trickier for non-PDF output, and I'm not asking for that!) My impression is that embedding PDF images within PDF files is a fairly straightforward process that doesn't require actually doing anything complicated to the image file contents. Thanks!
There's experimental support for that in FOP Trunk by now. Read on here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-fop-dev/200708.mbox/%3c20070806165027.5C59.DEV@jeremias-maerki.ch%3e Note that the branch mentioned in that post has been merged into FOP Trunk now. Feedback is welcome.
